Is Heathrow down? User reports show no current problems with Heathrow

Is Heathrow down right now?

Heathrow is working for most travellers right now, with no sign of a wide outage.

The Heathrow status on this page is built from live reports by people at the airport and at home. When reports jump, the website or app is struggling. A calm line means both are fine.

Is Heathrow down for me or everyone?

Reports from many places at the same time point to a wider Heathrow outage. One town only points to a local fault or your connection. Try the website and the app together, since a real outage hits both at once.

Live flight times and the flight tracker

The live flight boards are the part of the site people open most. They show arrivals and departures with times, gates and delays. When the feed slows down, times stop moving and flights can look frozen on an old state.

The app reads the same feed and adds alerts for a saved flight. If the website board is fresh but the app is stale, the fault sits in the app feed. Sign out and back in to force it to load again.

Flight search and saved flights

Searching by flight number is the fastest way to find one flight. Some users report the search box refusing numbers, which breaks the whole lookup. Searching by route and time is a slower path, but it works when the number box fails.

Parking booking on the website and app

Parking booking sits inside the website, and the app sends you there to finish. The form asks for your flight details before it shows spaces and prices. If it cannot find your return flight, the booking stops and no space is held.

Terminal guides, maps and your account

Terminal pages hold maps, gate guides and transfer steps between terminals. When those pages fail to load, people lose the walking routes they need for a tight connection. Your account stores bookings and alerts too, so a sign-in fault can lock them away.

Common Heathrow Problems and Fixes

Most faults clear once the service settles, but these steps fix the ones on your side.

The website will not load

Close the tab and open the site again in a different browser. Clear the saved site data if old pages keep coming back. When the app fails the same way, the fault is on the airport side.

Live flight times have stopped moving

Pull the board down to refresh, or reload the flight page. Compare your flight on the website and in the app. If both boards show the same old time, the feed itself is stuck.

Flight search refuses your flight number

Type the number with no spaces, and check the airline code at the start. If the box still blocks you, search by route and date instead. Save the flight from the results list so alerts can start.

Parking booking cannot find your flight

Check the flight number and dates you typed, then try again. A wrong return date is the most common cause. If the form still fails, book as a guest and add the flight later.

The app keeps crashing on open

Close the app in full, then check the store for an update and install it. Restart the phone if the crash stays. Sign in again after the update, since updates often clear your saved login.
